Description
This contemporary duplex apartment lies in the sought-after harbour village of Kingswear, Devon, opposite the historic steam Railway station and close to both car and passenger ferries to Dartmouth. Situated in the heart of the historic village this is a vibrant location, great for people watching, with the steam trains from Paignton arriving with passengers en-route for the ferries to Dartmouth and the regular 'clang', as the car ferry lowers its ramp onto the slipway nearby.
At times this is a busy and bustling location, but it is fun, and you couldn't wish for a more convenient location at Ferryside: close to the quay and the river.
The property has just been totally refurbished for summer 2022 with new furnishings and appliances.All the windows have been replaced with UPVC double glazing: ideal if it does get a bit noisy.
Enter the hallway on the ground floor to find the first of the bedrooms, offering a king-size bed with large Smart TV.There is a new bathroom with underfloor heating whilst also on the ground floor is a fully fitted utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. Stairs with concealed lighting lead off the hallway to a stunning open plan sitting room, dining room and kitchen recently fitted out with new dark blue kitchen units and white sparkly granite worktops, complete with oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge freezer and full sized dishwasher. The sitting room has a 50 inch smart TV or you can look out of the windows through the wide archway opposite with views of the quay and river.
Also approached off the living area is a small paved terrace with a bistro table and chairs. The second bedroom features another king-size bed with large smart TV, along with a sleek en-suite shower room.
Nearby, you will find a wide range of cafes, art galleries, shops, and boutique eateries to delve into, all set on the breath-taking waterfront; The Seahorse Restaurant and Bushell's Riverside are popular restaurants to visit. This really is a great location: ideal for stepping aboard a ferry to Dartmouth with its shops restaurants, cafes and art galleries or across the road to the station and take the steam train to Paignton.
There are some wonderful walks on the doorstep, with the property situated only a few yards from the South West Coast path.If you are feeling fit, then take the stunning coast path to the National Trust Coleton Fishacre Art Deco House and gardens, or walk alongside the river to Agatha Christie's Greenway House (also National Trust) with ferries back to Dartmouth or across the River to the charming Dittisham village. With plenty to fill your holiday itinerary, look forward to an action-packed adventure at Ferryside.

What guests are saying
The further information given mentioned that there was a pay and display car park opposite the accommodation.
This car park actually cost us £50+ for the week as the longest period of stay was either 5 hours or 1 day. As we were leaving the car there overnight we had to choose the 1 day option which was £8.00! This should be mentioned in the accommodation information. The cars queuing for the ferry are stationary and immediately outside the front door of the property making it difficult to enter and exit the property especially with luggage. The vehicles often had their engines running which was noisy immediately under the lounge and bedroom windows and in the hot weather it would not be nice to open the windows. The ferry (50 yards away) was noisy as the gangway hit the slipway every time it docked and this continued from 7.00 am until 10.45 pm , quite often with loud banter from locals.
Our second time here, amazing location right by the ferry & steam train, parking close by & no need to use the car for duration of our stay.
Love the Ship Inn, a stones throw from apartment. Apartment very clean, cosy & comfy, has everything you need for a break away. Lovely sound of the lower ferry ‘clank’ when it arrives. Looking forward to booking our third trip soon!
lovely spacious apartment.
couple of small issues dealt with by the owner quickly. We had a lovely comfy stay
